Vandals

Shazam!

Here's a new edition to the darker/more hopeful stuff ive been doing. It's in the same theme and concept as Eat Darknesss and Eyes Lashed/Tunnels. I wanted this song to sound like the soundtrack to a horror movie with teeange ideals and stuff. Like Donnie Darko or the Teenage Apocalyspe Trilogy by Gregg Araki. Like being the teenager is the end of the world. Once again, the song is laced with reverb. It's about the tribe called Vandals that almost overtook the Roman empire. The idea that a group of meek warriors with no rules or boundaries can actually destroy one of the most powerful societies in the world. That's the whole teenage existence, testing limits and bending the mainstream ideology.

This is also my first attempt at a true pop song.

Picture this:

A young man is on the verge of self-discovery. He is told that a portal will open from his future and that this portal will collaspe with his present and as a result, destroy everything. This is scheduled to happen on prom night. He travels into the future and destroys his future-self and returns back to the present, assuming that all will be corrected. But on prom night, while the Vandals (a pop group in the same likes as the Supremes) play their smash hit 'Lead Me On' the portal invevitably opens. This vortex sucks everything into it, making the future collide with the present and thus causing a chain reaction in all dimensions to converge of become on. All existence ceases to exist and the unviverse begans all over again............

This was the kind of movie that the song would have accompanied. Teenage appocalyspe.

Here are the lyrics:

You are the vandal of these mean streets

The ghost in the corner dancing to hearbeats

His bones do show outside his own skin

Exposing himself as a skeletal being

You said 'it'll be the end of it all'

You said ' not until the end of the world'

Will he see his zombie girl

Teenage wolf had a love of his own

The scars on her back do always show

But the streets still 'em like vandals...

You had to grow up in this place

He's says not until, until the end of it all

Do you treat 'em like vandals? (on these means streets)

Do you treat 'em like vandals? (on these means streets)

Do you treat 'em like vandals? (on these means streets)

Do you treat 'em like vandals? (on these means streets)

Do you treat 'em like vandals? (on these means streets)

Do you treat 'em like vandals? (on these means streets)

Long live the Vandals!
